The Scene Around: Revolver Pop-up Show #2

05/24/2017 07:08:22 AM

It's funny how Cris Ramos and Chuckie Balbuena uses a lot of things like their wrestling fandom to make connections in making music gigs like this. Well, we used to talk a lot of that stuff.

The Scene Around: Where in the World is Johnny Panic?

It was start of 2017, and we ask two questions: Where in the world is Johnyy Panic?; And still, for me: Who the Helen of Troy is this anonymous online diva anyway?

The Scene Around: Revolver Vanquish (Babangon Ako at Dudurugin Kita)

They may have been four or five months since their return but I think it's still fitting to say that “Revolver Productions is back once again.” And they definitely did it a la classic Filipino movie title.

The Scene Around: Revolver Duality (Heels & Faces)

In a middle of a busy weekend, I had another raket aside from covering the E-sports and Gaming Summit; so that speaks for the reason why I am still in the down southern part of Metropolitan Manila during that Saturday night as manning the gates of Revolver's monthly gig.

Weeknights to Remember: SlickMaster’s Memorable Gigs of 2015 (Part 4)

12/31/2015 3:00:36 PM

The post was supposed to be named Fridays and Saturday Nights to Remember only to realized a few things: first, gigs are happening every single weeknight; second, most of them aren’t even planned by yours truly to attend; and third, I have been to almost 70 gigs for 2015.

2015 has been a heck of a good year for me as I discovered Philippine music anew -- and it broods at the place where minority of people knows -- the independent scene. Over the course of time, I attended about 50 events starting from a random night out that happened 24 January 2015 at Route 196. I was then supposed to watch my college friend whose already a musician.

And since then, the Philippine independent music scene became another world conquered by yours truly. I became part of a production group; I was posting anything about gigs for most of the time; and indie music also served as a venue for me to grow as opportunities came from out of nowhere -- be it writing or anything else like photography and videography.

Fast-forward to the year-end, despite attending the last one or two music events of this year from small-time gigs to the big or concert-level ones, I can say I had a lot of memorable evenings.

As of this writing I am about to write new entries. 

Well, not really “new” since I have tons of backlogs on my list as a blogger. Sure, I did numerous commentaries, features, rantings, and even writing about the events I personally attended. Especially when we’re talking about music scene or specifically, gigs.
